Thanks for the quick reply;
Q1. I have now found the Startup Programs tab in the Sessions part of the
desktop configuration and added a run line there. It works but does not
run my program as Root. Do I need to add it to the Linux autostart
sequence to achieve this?
Q3. How do I find the KDE package on my installisation DVD? Would it be
easier to download another copy and then use YaST to install it? If so
what do I download? There are loads of different files and folders
on the download site.
